    Resolved Connecting to remote desktop from internet?[Resolved]

    Has anyone tried this before to connect to remote desktop from internet . I could be able to connect from my LAN & Wireless but I couldn't when I used internet for the connection . I think my problem is that I'm behind the router and my remote desktop is VPN connected . I tried non-VPN connection but still doesn't work . Could it be a router setting (like allow anonymous connection because it's disabled now) ????

    Thanks

    You need to configure your router to forward port 3339 to the IP of your computer. See this page.

    Maybe someone in the future will need it, also.

    I figured that it would come up again, and remembered that I found it when I looked for it, but it wasn't on the forums. I had a client that I had to walk thru his problems, and used Remote Desktop to do it.

    Nobody knows what software they want until after you've delivered what they originally asked for.

    Don't solve problems which don't exist.
